Steven Bergwijn, the Dutch winger who is currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Al Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League, has been involved in an injury scare.
The player sustained an ankle injury during training on Wednesday and was ruled out for up to two weeks. The injury comes at a crucial time for both Bergwijn and Al Ittihad as they look to secure promotion from the Saudi First Division.
Bergwijn has been one of the standout performers for Al Ittihad this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists in just nine league appearances. His presence has been instrumental in helping the club maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Despite the setback, it seems that Bergwijn will be available for the remainder of the season,Campeonato Brasileiro Action with his recovery likely to take place off the pitch rather than on it. However, the club will need to ensure that he is fully fit before returning to action, which could delay his return until after the winter break.
For now, Al Ittihad will have to find a way to cope without Bergwijn's creativity and goal-scoring ability, while also keeping their focus on securing promotion from the Saudi First Division.
